World’s fossil-fuel producers on track to nearly quadruple output from newly approved projects by decade’s end, report finds
At a time when we need to shift our collective climate action up a gear, the influence of the fossil fuels lobby is succeeding in slowing down ambition both at COP27 and in the EU.
New path to transition away from fossil fuels marred by lack of finance and loopholes COP28 in Dubai sends an important signal on the end of fossil fuels but leaves more questions than answers on how to ensure a fair and funded transition that is based on science and equity
Exclusive: UAE’s Sultan Al Jaber says phase-out of coal, oil and gas would take world ‘back into caves’
Les carburants de synthèse constituent des solutions de substitution, fongibles dans le système énergétique, pour décarboner les secteurs sans alternatives. Ces e-fuels sont un complément nécessaire dans la boite à outils européenne pour atteindre les objectifs climatiques à court, moyen et long terme.
La réduction des émissions industrielles et des transports passe par le développement de carburants non-fossiles de synthèse: pour promouvoir les projets de production de ces électro-carburants, des acteurs de la filière ont annoncé mardi la création d'un "Bureau français des e-fuels".Ce Bureau vise à promouvoir une "filière française d'e-fuels, vertueuse, compétitive et durable" auprès des acteurs publics et privés afin d'encourager les projets et à réunir experts, universitaires, industriels et financiers sur le sujet, indiquent-ils dans un communiqué.
Hundreds of students and graduates vow not to work for ‘climate wreckers that insure those responsible for the climate crisis’
En offrant une alternative plus propre aux carburants fossiles, ces e-fuels pourraient servir la cause de la transition énergétique.
L'Union européenne a validé lundi la fin des moteurs à essence et diesel dans les voitures neuves à partir de 2035, mais les libéraux allemands ont obtenu qu'on ouvre la voie aux carburants de synthèse, auxquels croient des constructeurs comme Porsche ou Ferrari. Ces carburants sont pourtant encore très rares, énergivores et polluants.Comment sont produits les "e-fuels"? Les carburants de synthèse (ou "e-fuels") sont pour la plupart produits en combinant de l'hydrogène et du CO2.
Pie-in-the-sky fantasies of carbon capture and geoengineering are a way for decision-makers to delay taking real action
Shane White from www.worldenergydata.org has put together three very useful charts breaking down coal, oil and gas extraction by nation.
Semafor launched last week with the goal of “reinventing the news story.” The news story needs reinventing, they say, because people can no longer tell the difference between unbiased fact and opinion. According to the Observer, Semafor has already raised more than $25 million, the majority of which is coming from eight corporate sponsors who want to help the news outlet address distrust in media. One of those sponsors appears to be Chevron, the second biggest climate-polluting company in the world.
Fossil fuel companies that want a free pass to keep pumping oil and gas are making wildly unrealistic promises about 'capturing' their emissions at sites of pollution, or removing them from the atmosphere at later date. But the science says drastic emission cuts are needed now if we are to stay within 1.5ºC warming. Thus ‘net zero’ policies are in reality 'not zero', and effectively guarantee that we’ll overshoot 1.5ºC, triggering catastrophic climate impacts which we have no reason to believe can be reversed by speculative and unproven ‘carbon removal’ technologies.
The European Union is embarking on an experiment that will expand its climate policies to imports for the first time. It’s called a carbon border adjustment, and it aims to level the playing field for the EU’s domestic producers by taxing energy-intensive imports like steel and cement that are high in greenhouse gas emissions but aren’t already covered by climate policies in their home countries.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and almost 200 other health associations have made an unprecedented call for a global fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty. A call to action published on Wednesday, urges governments to agree a legally binding plan to phase out fossil fuel exploration and production, similar to the framework convention on tobacco, which was negotiated under the WHO’s auspices in 2003. “The modern addiction to fossil fuels is not just an act of environmental vandalism. From the health perspective, it is an act of self-sabotage,” said the WHO president, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
US and UK financial institutions have been among the leading investors in Russian “carbon bomb” fossil fuel projects, according to a new database of holdings from recent years.
Thirty years ago, a bold plan was cooked up to spread doubt and persuade the public that climate change was not a problem. The little-known meeting - between some of America's biggest industrial players and a PR genius - forged a devastatingly successful strategy that endured for years, and the consequences of which are all around us.
Nuclear energy is too expensive to be considered an option to help Australia reduce its carbon emissions, at least in the next decade, according to the latest report by the CSIRO.
Strong climate action could wipe $756bn from individuals’ pension funds and other investments in rich countries
Coal plants will be reactivated if Russian President Vladimir Putin threatens a gas cutoff, a government official said. That would trigger the second of a three-stage Germany’s gas emergency plan.
Long before the current political divide over climate change, and even before the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865), an American scientist named Eunice Foote documented the underlying cause of today’s climate change crisis. The year was 1856. Foote’s brief scientific paper was the first to describe the extraordinary power of carbon dioxide gas to absorb heat – the driving force of global warming. Carbon dioxide is an odorless, tasteless, transparent gas that forms when people burn fuels, including coal, oil, gasoline and wood.
Exclusive: Nearly half existing facilities will need to close prematurely to limit heating to 1.5C, scientists say
The world’s leading energy economist has warned against investing in large new oil and gas developments, which would have little impact on the current energy crisis and soaring fuel prices but spell devastation to the planet.
When people talk about ways to slow climate change, they often mention trees, and for good reason. Forests take up a large amount of the planet-warming carbon dioxide that people put into the atmosphere when they burn fossil fuels. But will trees keep up that pace as global temperatures rise? With companies increasingly investing in forests as offsets, saying it cancels out their continuing greenhouse gas emissions, that’s a multibillion-dollar question.
Oil and gas majors are planning scores of vast projects that threaten to shatter the 1.5C climate goal. If governments do not act, these firms will continue to cash in as the world burns
If not slowed, climate change over the next few centuries could lead to marine losses unlike anything Earth has seen in 252 million years, says a new study.
Russia has nearly doubled its revenues from selling fossil fuels to the EU during the two months of war in Ukraine, benefiting from soaring prices even as volumes have been reduced.
Strong measures by Europe could quickly deprive Russia of oil and gas income worth billions, experts say
That same day, oil giant ExxonMobil made an announcement of its own: a $10 billion final investment decision for an oil and gas development project in the South American nation of Guyana that the company said would allow it to add a quarter of a million barrels of oil a day to its production in 2025.
